My son, Muhammad Rafiq Shah was arrested on 21 November 2005.He has been in Tihar Jail for 7 years despite evidence supporting the fact that he is innocent.He has been falsely implicated in the pre-Diwali blasts in Delhi in 2005.My son had never visited Delhi and was in the Kashmir University when the blasts happened.The state and central agencies have found nothing against him.The then VC of KU Abdul Wahid and even Riyaz Punjabi after him have even provided the attendance register confirming Rafiq's presence in the university on the said dates.Despite all evidence confirming my son's innocence he is still languishing in jail.During the past 7 years I have gone from pillar to post with evidences proving his innocence, but to no avail.My cries have fallen on deaf ears.After trying all possible means to seek my innocent son's release I have filed a petition to the Honourable Prime Minister of India, Manmohan Singh to seek my son's release.I appeal everyone around the world and especially in Kashmir to sign this petition and help me secure the release of my son.Please stand with this helpless mother.

Letter to
